Long time, no blog; I know. We moved our stuff into the house last Monday and we've been knee-deep in random chaos since. The movers didn't arrive at our house until almost 4pm, so we were doing good to have beds put together in time for the kids to go to sleep around 9pm. Last week was unpacking upon unpacking. Most of our essentials for living have been put in their proper places, though a few key things have yet to reveal themselves. Having professional movers was a wonderful luxury, but they certainly don't label boxes the way I would.
Z had his four-month well-check with a new doctor last Thursday. He weighs 15 lbs, 10 oz. I don't remember the exact numbers, but he is in the 93rd-96th percentile for length and about 60th for weight. He's started some cereal and really likes it, though the delivery can be a bit frustrating. He's seriously attached to the sucking reflex, so having to take the spoon out of his mouth to reload makes him scream like a girl.
After three weeks off from school, I concentrated on getting our new schoolroom up and ready over the weekend and we hit the books again on Monday morning. The workbox system I'd been wanting to try is working out wonderfully!! I'll try to write more about it later. We're having a fun science week... drawing rocks in our journals, making our own "fossils", and this afternoon we're going to make a volcano. We also tried our hand at making an ancient Roman dessert and all agreed that we're happy to live in the modern age of sugar. It's so wonderful to have all my resources back and not be limited by having to keep the house clean for people to come see it.
Just wanted to come up to the blog surface and give a quick update before ducking back down to keep swimming. Next week, I think I better keep a promise to a certain almost-3-year-old that we would start potty training when we got to the new house. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
